Cannot turn on power for stero OR command surface

You'll have to run power to it from a wire that comes on with key on. I run it from the A/C controller. Splice it in.

probably picked up the wrong power wire for the unit and the power is diverted to the ignition circuit.. have the installation checked by professional audio fitters.

check where you disconnected the wires from as you probably dislogded the power wire for the starter solenoid.

red wires in auto electrics is the nominal power wire. Use a circuit light tester and if it comes on when the ignition switch is on, or in the accessories position then that is the hot (power )wire.

When there is a loss o power memory will be lost. Upon radio installation there is a 2nd power for this reason. Check wiring diagram.

The best thing to do is use a factory wire adapter. The main wires you need to worry about are power, battery memory, ground and speaker wires. If you have a power antenna you will need to wire in the remote (normally blue or light blue). The only other wire should be an orange wire for the dimmer on the radio face. This one is not necessary for normal operation. Make sure you have the main 11 wires wired in. Ignition, battery, ground and the 8 speaker wires.

try disconecting the positive terminal of the batery for sevral minets (5-10) this will reset the brain box memory for the stero aswell as for the car it self.

what caused the batery to go dead in the first place?
things that i can think of :
1) left headlights on over night
2) bad altenator not charging batery
3) battery is old and not taking a charge anymore
4) new stero installed incorectly and drainging the batery
have you resently installed a new stero or amplifyer?
is the turn key igntion system hooked into the amp/stero antena lead so that thy are shut of when the ignition is?
of note: new streo >theres a blue wire marked ant that goes to the amplifyer if not there you need to find the orange accsesory wire coming from the turn key igntion>check for power when ignition is in the on & off states could be yellow in some cars but is usaly orange if this wire has on and of state controled by the turn key igntion this would be the wire to tap into for the amplyfire and the radio main power
check your radio's instaltion guide for code errors
its posible that when hooking up the jump it was done incorectly and blew up the radio
ie postive and negative where fliped
hope this helped :)

Common problem in snow country where salt water can corrode starter parking gate wire connection at started tab. Just cleanthe connector and tab, coat in dielectric grease, problem solved in 15 minutes!

The prob seems like you have connected the power to your stero from the wrong place. You cut into live a wire for the power, this should be connected at the ACC on your fuse panel. Also make sure you stero has a good ground! Frankster016

when i take out my key,, everything is lit up.. and music playing.. but when i open the door.... i get out... all things going in the car shuts off... I would suggest.. turn off a/c,,,, stereo, etc.. before you get out of the car..until you can get to the dealer and have them check that door connection to turn things off...
